All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Verse Takeaways

Universal and Personal Sin

Commentators note a two-part confession in this verse. First, "All we like sheep have gone astray" acknowledges the universal sinfulness of all humanity. Second, "we have turned every one to his own way" calls for personal repentance, recognizing our unique, individual sins. As John Calvin notes, understanding our own lostness is the first step to appreciating Christ's rescue.
